Grundy, seeking nomination for the office he now holds only by virtue of appointment, may find his political career menaced by the Joseph R. Grundy who was a lobbyist. Not that his cause is likely to be seriously damaged by his recent tes- timony before the senate lobby com- mittee. Grundy was not a bit em- barrassed in admitting that a maga- zine editor and “tariff expert” is in his employ. But on the eve of a primary cam- paign which promises to be even more bitter, if less expensive, than that which involved Pennsylvania in scan- dal in 1926, it is an open secret here that all the outspoken prejudices of Grundy against women voters, against social uplife legislation, and against labor in general will be revived to Plague:him. .
